Johnny Gold: Back to da Valley vs. TWINSIES!

So, my return into Johnny's life wasn't too well-received, to put it lightly.

Johnny: "Wha? Where am I? I had a really long dream that I was gettin' down with virgins and woohookers and now I'm..."

At a trailer park in Sunset Valley.

Johnny: "You're lying to me. I don't believe it. This is just another one of those dreams..."

Suntan: "Grrrr...."

Johnny: "See? You gotta stop playin' around, Big C! You're freakin' out Suntan!"

Hmm, Suntan seems to like his new digs. At least someone appreciates me. *eye roll*

First thing Johnny wanted to do was join the Professional Sports Career. I'm not one to crush dreams, so I'm letting him. Soon after, he had wants like "take a class in athletic", "gain an athletic skill point", and "buy a pet bowl"; is my little Johnny growing up? :')

...Nope. *facepalm*

Johnny: "I was just tryin' to butter you up, Big C. I'm workin' hard, but you can only keep a party animal like me down for so long." *fist pumps*

You don't even know anyone!

Johnny: "So then make me some friends!"

Uh-uh. You make you some friends.

Johnny: "Okay, so now we're chillin' at the beach...this ain't so bad. Kinda like BlueVille. Oh hey look, there's a sim!"

Yes! There's a sim! Hang on while I edit him in CAS...

*fifteen minutes later*

Yes! There's a sim! Now go talk to him.

Johnny: "What, you're not gonna tell me to talk to him?"

I just did.

Johnny: "You know what I mean."

Nope. Your party, your friends, your actions. I'll tell you to greet him but what you do from there is entirely your decision.

Both: "Who the fram are you?!"

Ehmahgaw, TWINSIES!

Suntan: "Yeah...I'll just take this opportunity to chew on the furniture."

Agnes couldn't help but feel a little uneasy as Jared and Johnny stared each other down.

Agnes: "Oh no...there's two of them!"

Of course, to end the uncomfortable awkwardness between the two of them, I had Johnny greet the recently widowed damsel.

Agnes: "Hmm, this fellow looks familiar. Haven't I read about him before?"

Agnes: "So you're new here, right?"

Johnny: "Why yes, yes I am...if you're wanting to show me around." *wink*

Agnes: "Maybe later. But for now, I should tell you the Legend of Pleasantview."

Agnes: "...and it is often said by fortune tellers everywhere that Sunset Valley would collapse into a town full of loading screens, and a valuable goth will go missing."

Johnny: "Gasp! Not the goths!"

Morgana: "Oh Creator, again with those myths Agnes?!"

Suntan: "...I honestly don't know why I'm here."

Because you're cute! :D

Suntan: "Oh. Okay!"

Morgana: "I just wanted you to know that the sun will come out tomorrow and Sunset Valley is perfectly safe. So don't listen to Agnes' silly stories! Just smile and carry on knowing that you'll be dead by the apocalypse anyway!"

Agnes: "Dead...apocalypse...my dear husband..." :'(

Jocasta: "Gosh, it's so crowded here! I hope no one smells my farts." 

Jocasta: "Keep it together girl...keep it together."

Keep it classy, Sunset Valley.

Generations - Can you feel the (vampire) love?

Ahh, good morning/afternoon/night simmers! You know what time it is...

Time for a lightning-quick update!

Traits: Genius, Loves the Outdoors

Guess who just had a birthday! He's already starting to remind me of Moses.

As soon as Alex grew up, he whipped out his imaginary friend, Moof. At  first, he was just calmly singing to it, but I decided that singing was too gentle for a toddler...

...so I made him chomp Moof's ear. ;)

This picture really has nothing to do with the Camdens, but I just really liked this picture from Bridgeport. Everyone, meet Ella Cartez, in all her childhood glory. Doesn't she look so proud of herself?

In this picture, she is wearing an outfit and a hairstyle that came with Generations. *cough* someone please convert that hairstyle *cough*

I've been missing Angie sorta, so I think I'll go ahead and visit the Dillards for a sec...

 A photo of the remastered Goth home, where the Dillards now reside (with graphical errors to boot!)

Thame: Flirty, Natural Cook, Virtuoso, Genius, Artistic Angellique: Perceptive, Eccentric

 Thame had a birthday, and is currently seen playing with her baby sister Angellique. I think that interaction is called "the claw".

Unfortunately, I do admit to editing Thame in CAS just a tiny bit, because Angie's bone structure does not compliment Beau's freakish eyes in the slightest. She looked fine as a teenager, but when she aged up...well...you know how in old cartoons, when one cartoon character would choke another character, their eyes would bug out? Yeah. It looked like that.

Kristina: Rebellious, Perfectionist, Neat, Genius

After fixing a slight mouth deformity (again, thank you Beau), Kristina emerged as a lovely yet still uninteresting teenager. The one thing that confuses me is how in the world she rolled the "rebellious" trait. I thought rebels didn't care about trivial things such as vanity, and cleanliness...I mean, how many perfectionist genius rebels do you know? "Yeah, I'll go down to City Hall and fight against The Man, but let me clean the house and practice my protest speech first." 

Trudy...still sucks. It's been so long that I've honestly forgotten why I dislike her, but I do. Angie used to dislike her as well, but now it appears that they're forming an "alliance" of sorts. *glare*

 Sigh, oh well. If Trudy and Angie ruin my game somehow in revenge, at least I have Thame's utter epicness to lessen my pain.

Speaking of Angie and her Beau...

 Here they are, on the rooftop of their mansion, watching the stars together. In their underwear. At 6AM.

D'awwww....

They're getting sunburns together. :')

And last but not least, Jacob, who is still amusingly creepy and apparently dislikes children. Did he have that trait before? I'll have to go check. Sad, I was hoping to see how horrifying adorable his kids with Trudy would be. Maybe I'll get her knocked up anyway, just to get on his nerves. Muahahahaha

"PLAASMAAAAAAA"

 Oh well, at least he's finally making himself useful...

"...but at what cost? :("

Doesn't he look pitiful while doing it? Ahahaha, Jacob is a terrible vampire.

And on that note, I think I'll go to sleep. Of course, when Blogger publishes this it'll be morning, but...*continues to ramble*

Goodnight! :)

The Roomies - Mandie Does France!

I need to get to France so that I can see how EA made their nectary and somehow duplicate it for my WIP world. The nectary I made isn't functional, so I need to figure out what I did wrong.

First off, let's introduce you to my family, the Roomies household!

The roomies are a household full of sims I had in TS2 and recreated in TS3, just for nostalgia. First up, we have...

 Full name: Mandie Jenner
Traits: Adventurous, Photographer's Eye, Neurotic, Vegetarian, Artistic
In The Sims 2: Mandie Jenner was a photographer that owned her own studio in Crescent County. She took pictures of famous figures such as Alakai and Nancy Miguel, and she was notorious for her ill-fated relationships.
In Saskan Harbour: Mandie Jenner works at Doo Peas Corp. as a professional blogger, and is Sandy's boss.

Full Name: Helena Jitmakusol
Traits: Hot-headed, Flirty, Genius, Friendly, Ambitious
In The Sims 2: Helena Jitmakusol was the daughter of Phil Jitmakusol (scientist), and Je'Tamie Jitmakusol (doctor). She and her brother Eric grew up to be geniuses; Helena decided to follow her mother's footsteps, and Eric decided to help his girlfriend with her up-and-coming hair salon.
In Saskan Harbour: She worked as a doctor, and helped bring all of Saskan Harbour's babies into the sim world.

Full Name: Matthew Dillard (no relation to the Dillard family)
Traits: Angler, Family-Oriented, Green Thumb, Loves The Outdoors, Lucky
In The Sims 2: Owned a farm with his wife Angela, as well as a grocery store that they sold their produce in.
In Saskan Harbour: He owned a plot of land in the mountains with his wife.

Full Name: Jason Glendale
Traits: Lucky, Good Kisser, Neat, Natural Cook, Green Thumb
In The Sims 2: Husband to Myettah Glendale, and father to 12 kids.

Ok, let's get started!

For the nature freaks, I bought a nice little cabin in SV that needs refurbishing, if you ask me. But that's not what I made them for. Let there be France!

And so, I sent Helena off to go get a job at Bleeding Heart, and I sent the boys over to the unoccupied house over there to steal some fish.

Champ Le Sims is gorgeous, really. I'd love to actually create a town like this. Maybe I should take notes...

I wish I knew what terrain paint they used so I can recreate those textures. So beautiful!!

 

 We wasted no time. Mandie chatted up the hot (but unavailable) French guy while I tried to figure out the "secret" to making a functional nectary. Unsuccessfully.  Sigh, oh well.

 

I wasn't going to let that ruin our adventure, so I sent her to the base camp to get a new adventure. Apparently, Gerard Morel lost a "mysterious item" in the depths of the Celtic ruins. Off we go!

------A Day Later------

"I...er...I found your baseball, sir."

"Ah, Madame! You have returned my precious baseball. I thank you from the depths of my heart. It is lucky you see, I would never dare to go into a place like those ruins without it at my side. That is why I had to pay you to do it for me. Speaking of payment, here are some ancient coins. You will find these scattered around many tombs that you explore. Some merchants, for instance, Alber Fouchier, only accept these for their wares. The most interesting of items can be purchased with them. Now, enjoy the rest of your time in Champs Le Sims!"

"....right. Hey, could you teach me how to french kiss?"

After finding out that hot French guy #2 is also married, Mandie returned back to the base camp for another adventure.

"Ooh ooh Creator, let's do this one!"

Sure, what does it say?

"Help! As the curator of the museum, I'm responsible for the safe-keeping of its Relics, art, and treasures. Unfortunately, the security guards are abandoning their posts. I am in need of a brave soul to assist me at the museum. Interested parties are to speak to me, Laurent Durand, at their earliest convenience."

...fine, just don't get yourself killed.

"Laurent!"

"Mandie! Oh thank goodness there is somebody else in Champs Les Sims who cares remotely for the museum's well-being! For some inexplicable reason the security guards keep quitting. They just up and leave and they will not tell me why! Something is going on here and I intend to get to the bottom of it. In the meantime, I'd like you to patrol the museum. Investigate the Egyptian gallery and see if you can find anything."

"Sure!"

"I don't think I want to do this anymore."

Too bad, you chose it.

"But-"

No.

No pictures, but the adventure was a fail. God EA, can't you give me a hint?

And back home we go!

I know this was completely random, but I guess a random post is the perfect way to break in a random blog. Goodnight all!
